Ted Schaffer removes ‘acting’ from mayor’s title TRIO OF NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS TAKE OFFICE IN CITY OF LANGLEY M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re por t e r

Ted Schaffer didn’t have to wait long to learn his fate. Roughly 15 minutes after the polls closed, Schaffer, his family and supporters were celebrating at a small Cascades Convention Centre meeting room where they had gathered to await results. The acting mayor of the City of Langley defeated his nearest opponent by more than 2,000 votes. Results show Schaffer with 2,781 votes. Randy Caine placed second, with 767 votes and Ray Lewis earned 558 votes. “It’s a big relief,” Schaffer said following his victory. “I’m just going to work very, very hard for this community.” Schaffer invited the unsuccessful candidates to “maybe put their names on a few [municipal] committees.” He was named acting mayor after the city council decided against holding a byelection to replace then-incumbent

Incumbent Township mayor Jack Froese won a second term on Saturday, fighting off a challenge by former mayor Rick Green.

TED SCHAFFER mayor Peter Fassbender, after he won a seat as a Liberal MLA in Surrey in the May, 2013 provincial election. All three incumbent City of Langley councillors who ran for re-election — Dave Hall (2,172), Gayle Martin (1,851) and Jack Arnold (1,599) — held onto their seats. New councillors are Val van den Broek, with 1,864 votes and Paul Albrecht (1,738).

placements. Mayor Jack Froese was elected to a second term, fending off an attempted comeback by Rick Green, the mayor he defeated in 2011. On election night, Froese celebrated his win with supporters at the Fort Langley Golf Club. “Tonight the mayor’s office is signed, sealed and delivered,” Froese said. “The future belongs to those who prepare for it today, and today the voters went out and prepared for the future of Langley by having their voice and choosing who they want to be on council and to lead Langley.”

Froese praised the defeated incumbents as “good people who have served Langley for a long time and have done an excellent job.” “I know Steve [Ferguson] has been the longest-serving councillor and worked hard all his career for Langley,” Froese said. “Bev has put her heart and soul into it and Grant, another long-serving councillor, they have tried to make decisions that were in the best interests of the community and we’re going to miss that,” said Froese.

Limited surveillance at Carvolth exchange INCREASING NUMBER OF VEHICLE BREAK-INS A CONCERN TO TOWNSHIP D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

TransLink operates a video surveillance system at the Carvolth Transit Exchange at 202 Street south of Highway 1, but it only runs part-time, and it isn’t aimed at the parked vehicles in the 650-space lot, only the parking ticket dispenser. A report by the Township of Langley engineering division said it has been informed by TransLink that the video surveillance is “ … only operational overnight, during the hours when incidents of thefts and vandalism have been apparently been experienced …” The report goes on to indicate the feed from the Carvolth lot is not monitored by people, but records and store video that is not reviewed by transit security and RCMP until “… potential nefarious activities have been detected …” The report was requested by council in response to reports of a number of vehicle break-ins at the lot. In response to a Times query, TransLink media relations issued an email that said “Transit Police are giving the area special attention through increased patrol and monitoring.” The police are also carrying out a CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) analysis to see if any environmental changes can be made to make the area safer, the email added. TransLink said it has a CCTV (closed-circuit television) camera at Carvolth that is “motion activated and is triggered after 10

p.m. once activity is detected near the pay stations.” TransLink said it is “currently looking at ways to improve security at our Park and Ride facilities, with the expansion of CCTV being one of those options.” Langley RCMP have reported 12 thefts of catalytic converters from vehicles parked in the Carvolth lot over the last two months, the most recent around 1 p.m. on Nov. 5. A Langley officer on patrol in North Langley interrupted a man who was under a pickup truck, trying to remove the vehicle’s catalytic converter. Police said the suspect was arrested “after a short struggle” and was also found to be a prohibited driver and in breach of conditions forbidding him from possessing tools. A 48-year-old Surrey man is S HA NE M A C KIC HA N B lack Pre s s vide o s till facing charges. A man was stabbed at the Carvolth bus exchange on Friday, Nov. 7.

North Langley couple sentenced for series of robberies A North Langley couple has been sentenced for their respective roles in a series of robberies that was carried out nearly a year ago and involved the use of a hatchet. Nicole Jean Gunn and James Donald Gunn, each pleaded guilty last June to several charges related to a string of robberies that took place, for the most part, at Walnut Grove fast food outlets in December 2013 and January 2014. For her role in the crimes, Nicole Gunn, 32, received a suspended sentence and 18 months probation after pleading guilty on June 12 to one count each of robbery, flight from police and dangerous driving. She also received a 10-year firearms ban and is prohibited from driving for six months. James Gunn, also 32, pleaded guilty on

June 19 to two counts of driving while prohibited and one count each of robbery and disguise with intent. He received an 18-month jail sentence, two years probation, a two-year driving prohibition and 10year firearms ban. During each of the robberies, police say James Gunn would enter the business carrying a hatchet, and with his face covered by a balaclava, a bandana or a surgical mask. He would threaten staff and demand money. On one occasion, he jumped over the counter, emptied the register and took petty cash from the office. He would then run from the store and jump into a van driven by his wife, Nicole. After one of the robberies, a BC Ambulance Service driver who was nearby saw a man

wearing a balaclava, run from a restaurant. The witness was able to obtain a partial licence plate from the getaway van. Police were able to link the plate back to James Gunn and determined he was living in Walnut Grove. Gunn also matched the descriptions provided by witnesses in the previous robberies. Langley’s serious crime took unit over investigation, while the RCMP’s street enforcement unit assumed responsibility for the on-the-ground investigation in Walnut Grove. Because of the nature of the crimes, Langley RCMP implemented a co-ordinated response which included participation from its drug section, prolific offender enforcement team and general duty officers as well as the Lower Mainland forensic

identification unit, police dog services, emergency response team (ERT) and Air One. The final robbery in the couple’s crime spree took place on Jan. 25 at the Lotus Day Spa. James Gunn was seen exiting the spa and jumping into a van driven by his wife. Officers located the vehicle nearby shortly after the robbery and attempted to stop the vehicle. Nicole Gunn drove the van into the oncoming lanes of traffic several times in her efforts to avoid capture. Because of the danger posed to other motorists by her driving, the officers called off the pursuit. On Jan. 29 the couple was arrested without incident at their residence by the Lower Mainland emergency response team.

‘Unelection’ campaign claims small victory THREE ENDORSED CANDIDATES ELECTED, THREE GIVEN FAILING GRADES DEFEATED

From Page 1

For the Unelection Campaign mounted by some local residents who wanted five of the incumbents gone, the results were not everything they were seeking, but they were still pleased. “I think we were fairly successful” said Unelection spokesperson Andy Schildhorn, who noted that three of the candidates the group endorsed, David Davis, Kim Richter and Petrina Arnason, were among the top vote-getters, finishing first, second and fourth. As well, the three defeated incumbents were among those given failing grades by the Unelection website, which recommended against voting for them. Schildhorn told The Times the Unelection Campaign will continue, but could “morph” into something else over the next four years. He wasn’t specific. “We are here and we will be attending council meetings,” Schildhorn said. The new faces on Langley Township council all attributed their victories to sustained, ground-level campaigning. New councillor Arnason, who won on her third bid for office, said after the last election, she spent a lot of time working with community groups and attending council meetings to be ready for office. “People know I will hit the ground running,” Arnason sad. As a daughter of longtime Langley Township councillor Muriel Arnason, she said having “the Arnason DNA” helps, as well. In response to a Times question, Arnason said she agrees with the suggestion the results represent a shift of emphasis toward limiting density and development and

preserving the quality of life, especially in the rural neighbourhoods of Langley. “I think it is a trend,” Arnason said, adding “that suits me because these are the values that I support. “We want to be able to manage growth, we want to make sure we have a viable future.” Going forward, she would like to see a “broader perspective” taken by council, working collaboratively with other agencies such as the Agricultural Land Commission. Blair Whitmarsh was elected on his first attempt “I started the work [on my campaign] a long time ago,” Whitmarsh said following his victory. “I knew that I needed a lot of time to get my message out.” Whitmarsh said developing a new official community plan in Brookswood, where residents rebelled at a proposal to increase density, and getting a new Alder-

grove swimming pool are high priorities for him personally. Angie Quaale also managed a win on her first attempt. “I’ve been working on my campaign for over a year,” Quaale said. “I didn’t just put my hand up and decide to run.” Quaale thinks issues of the environment and pace of development have always been a concern, but the way the Township discusses those issues has changed. “I think the shift has been the way council and the community will interact,” Quaale said. She held seven community meetings throughout the Township during the election campaign and is promising to continue the practice. “I’m really excited to get to work,” she said. Election night results show mayor Froese won re-election with 13,186 votes, while challenger and former Township mayor,

Rick Green, took 7,595. A third candidate for mayor Serena Oh, received 1,255 votes. David Davis topped the polls with 12,527 votes, while fellow councillors Kim Richter (11,415) and Charlie Fox (9,116) had little trouble holding onto their seats. Receiving the fourth highest number of votes (8,930) was Arnason, Incumbents Michelle Sparrow (8,598) and Bob Long (7,615) took the fifth and sixth spots, respectively, while the remaining two seats were captured by newcomers Whitmarsh (7,550) and Quaale (7,526). Some Township residents noticed a slight glitch with voting machines and took to social media to joke about it on Saturday. As ballots were inserted, an American flag popped up on the screen of each machine, which had been rented from a company in Omaha, Nebraska, along with a message thanking the person for voting. Township of Langley returning officer Bob Wilson said he was aware of the problem, but it wasn’t discovered until about a week ago, too close to the election to fix. During an earlier test run with a sample ballot, the U.S. flag did not appear, said Wilson. Vote totals for the losing council candidates were: Steve Ferguson, 7,377; Bev Dornan, 7,310; Clint Lee, 7,300; Dave Stark, 7,181; Kerri Ross, 7,181; Mel Kositsky, 6,012; Grant Ward, 5,899; Jackie Mandzak, 5,889; Kevin Mitchell, 5,537; Solon Bucholtz, 4,695; Scott Nichols, 3,765; Patricia Lessard, 2,317; Karl Buchanan, 1,508; Zosia Ettenberg, 1,436. — with files from Brenda Anderson and James Inglis

‘Disconnect between citizens and city hall’ DECISION-MAKING PROCESS MUST BE MORE TRANSPARENT, SAYS NEWLY ELECTED COUNCILLOR From Page 1

Van den Broek said it is still sinking in that she is now a City councillor. The former Langley City community police office employee had the second highest vote total, just below Hall. “Gayle, Rudy and I spent a lot of hours standing outside the Save-On and the No Frills, talking with people and I think some people know me from working at the City Community Police Office for eight years,” she said. She can’t wait to get started, and she has many ideas. “There is a huge disconnect between citizens and city hall. I saw that as a resident and as someone working in the City. And I heard it loud and clear from residents. We need to be more accessible and more input is needed from citizens. “Decisions can no longer be made behind closed doors,” she said. “The more involved and engaged citizens feel, the less voter apathy we will see.”

She wants to create a seniors’ committee. “Seniors are a huge part of our community and they feel the most disconnected,” she said. Van den Broek is also thinking of creating a website where citizens can post suggestions on how to improve the City and let her know of concerns. She campaigned on cleaning up crime and working to address mental health issues in the City. But she recognizes that will take working with all municipalities and the province. Van den Broek was a bit disappointed that only two women are on council, but she thinks the new council will be good. “There is good diversity on council,” she said.

Trio of new trustees elected to Langley Board of Education M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The Langley Board of Education has three new faces around the table and no time for those new trustees to settle into their new role, said re-elected City trustee Rob McFarlane. “I’m really pleased and excited to be re-elected,” said McFarlane. “We have accomplished an awful lot, but it is interesting times right out of the gate.” He has been acting chair for the last couple of months, as Wendy Johnson took leave. She did not seek re-election. McFarlane received 2,182 votes in the City and was elected alongside newcomer Shelley Coburn, with 2,144 votes. Incumbent Candy Ashdown was not re-elected. She received 1,728 votes. “Right out of the gate we are starting our consultation process with the public about

what is going to happen in the Willoughby slope and we also have to finalize what we are going to ask of the province in terms of wanting a new high school,” said McFarlane. This leaves little time for new trustees to get used a role that ‘takes a while to get used to.’ “But this (figuring out what to do with the overpopulation of Willoughby schools) is a huge project that will impact the whole district so I’m really hoping we get the commu-

nity engaged in this.” He’s impressed and ‘optimistic’ with the dynamics of the new board. In the Township, incumbent Alison McVeigh topped the polls, with 8,523 votes, followed by two other incumbents, Rod Ross, 8,027, and Megan Dykeman, 7,810. Newcomer David Tod, a teacher in Abbotsford, was fourth in votes with 7,749 followed by Rosemary Wallace with 7,148. Wallace is switching over from Langley City

politics to education. “I was so nervous on Saturday,” said Wallace of her win. “There were a lot of really good candidates who had a lot of passion for education. I think it’s a good message to the incumbents who were re-elected that they can’t just sit back. There is a lot of new energy and drive to get things done,” said Wallace. She was disappointed Ashdown wasn’t re-elected, as she works tirelessly behind the scenes. John-

...to

son was a big support for Wallace during the campaign. “My whole goal moving forward is making sure kids don’t fall through the cracks,” she said. While the Willoughby issues will be front and centre, she wants to make sure kids aren’t forgotten in the process. “Whenever their is change and growth, we can lose sight of the main reason we are here and that’s for the kids,” said Wallace. “I don’t want to see kids having to bus long distances and for teenagers, they are going through a lot emotionally. I don’t want to see waiting lists to see counsellors.” Unsuccessful candidates in the Township were Lorraine Baldwin, 6,362; Suzanne Perreault, 5,718; Lisa Moore, 5,070; Kristine Ketter, 4,548; Trudy Handel, 3,663; Pamala-Rose Combs, 2,398 and Lawrence Chen, 2,218.

Brydon Lagoon pump approved by Langley City council DECISION MADE BEFORE SPECIAL COMMITTEE HAD REPORTED BACK MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Brydon Lagoon will be getting a new $10,000 aeration pump to help circulate oxygen in the man-made pond. Langley City council unanimously approved taking the funds out of the enterprise account and putting it into a new pump that should be installed by spring. “The new pump is quiet and doesn’t require maintenance,” said Councillor Gayle Martin who put forward the motion at the Nov. 3 meeting. “It has six air stations in several spots on the bottom of the lagoon and that should help with oxygen in the pond.”

Martin added that this decision is “not to diminish the work of the task force” put together after the massive fish kill that took place at the pond over the hot August long weekend. After thousands of fish died, City council agreed that a special committee should be struck to look into the situation at Brydon Lagoon and offer some possible solutions. The committee is made up of members of Langley Field Naturalists and LEPS, as well as the Nicomekl Enhancement Society and City of Langley representatives. Ducks Unlimited has also agreed to examine the issue and offer suggestions. Councillor Dave Hall said paying for the

pump now is a political move and “kneejerk reaction” before hearing what the committee suggests. The motion by Martin was made just before the municipal election. Committee member Rhys Griffith said his committee has no idea about this pump. Griffith wished Martin wouldn’t jump the gun before they could even consider the many suggestions the committee is looking at. “We have testing that has been done to say this is more of an algae problem and the fix could be as inexpensive as $2,000 to $6,000 per year,” said Griffith. The fish died because the water became too warm, and there wasn’t enough ox-

ygen. It turned out one of the aeration pumps in the pond hadn’t been functioning for some time and the other had been turned off because it was too noisy and neighbours were complaining. The LFN estimate the pond is roughly half as deep as it once was because of the sediment that is building up on its bottom through the decay of plant life and particles being washed in through storm drains. Many have been asking the City to dredge the pond, but the City has never been keen on that approach because of its unknown price tag. The lagoon is home to dozens of fish and bird species.

Langley City and Langley Township councils have a decidedly different look, as a result of Saturday’s elections. In the city, three new councillors will add differing perspectives to council discussions. Mayor Ted Schaffer, who can now take “acting” out of his title, will also bring a new approach to the mayor’s job. He will be quieter than his predecessor Peter Fassbender and will likely be doing more behind-the-scenes work. The issue of crime on the streets and in parks and other public spaces will be a major one that council needs to address. While the current council has added some measures to try and deal with these situations, it isn’t simply a matter of resources. The City will have to do more lobbying of federal and provincial representatives to get their assistance in dealing with issues like mental health, parole, probation and repeat offenders. The Township election was more than just a matter of replacing three pro-development councillors with two new pro-development councillors and one with much more of an environmental approach. There was clearly some dissatisfaction with council over process — particularly how citizens learn of proposed changes to their neighbourhoods. There is also some anger over just how Willoughby has developed. The new council will need to work closely with the board of education, and particularly with the two Langley MLAs, to get a new high school approved for Willoughby as quickly as possible. It will also have to deal with what may be shaping up as an environmental challenge of the first magnitude, the construction of the East Langley water line through the Salmon River corridor. While development will continue to proceed in Langley Township, the new council needs to ask more questions during the approval process and listen carefully to concerns raised by residents at open houses and public hearings. If a development does not fit into a neighbourhood, council should have no compunction in rejecting it. Congratulations to all the winners on Saturday night. Best wishes to all the candidates who ran, and thank you for your substantial contribution to the democratic process. In particular, all the best to the four incumbents who lost their jobs on Saturday — Township councillors Steve Ferguson, Bev Dornan and Grant Ward and City trustee Candy Ashdown. Thanks for your time and efforts on behalf of Langley residents.

Question

of the week

Are you satisfied with the results of Saturday’s municipal elections in Langley?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Generous donors

they

Vancouver’s municipal parties have released their donor lists before voters head to the polls, not three months afterwards. Kudos. Vision Vancouver reported $2.3 million in donations. Corporate donations accounted for 60.8 per cent of the haul and unions 14 per cent. The NPA reported donations of $2.1 million and the second largest donation in Vancouver’s history at $360,000 from Peter Armstrong’s Great Canadian Railtour Company. All in, Armstrong has donated $470,000 to the NPA through additional personal and corporate cheques. That’s enough to have covered Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s 2013 re-election budget — with $79,000 to spare — and Cowtown has about a quarter of a million more voters than Vancouver. Armstrong could have covered the spending limit of two candidates running for mayor of Winnipeg and still have $67,000 left over. Or he could have covered the $386,556 spending limit for a candidate running to be mayor of Mississauga, a ceiling described by one writer at the Mississauga News as “astronomical.” One small wrinkle: In Calgary, Armstrong’s generosity would be limited to $5,000; in Winnipeg, $1,500, and it would have to be a personal cheque; and in Mississauga, he would be cut off at $750. Meanwhile, over at the B.C. legislature, the provincial government thought the midst of the 2014 civic election was a dandy time to hold public hearings on new campaign finance rules for 2018. Go figure. — Dermod Travis, Integrity BC

Industrious firefighters Editor: While walking on Sunday morning in Noel Booth Park, I came across a large number of industrious men laboriously emptying trucks in the forecourt of the Number 5 fire hall. I discovered they were indeed firefighters. They had been out since the early morning, gathering the placards that had been erected along the roadsides prior to the election. I could see how they were separating all the signs into separate stacks around the forecourt, according to each candidate. On enquiry I was told these firefighters, both volunteers and paid, had come out, doubtless many on their day off, to tidy our thoroughfares. We all recognize that firefighters are held in high esteem for their courageous work. Their expertise and knowledge is very much admired. They didn’t have to take time out of their day to stack placards, did they? Without fanfare, they were demonstrating how much they care for our community. Had I not walked by at that particular time, their efforts would have remained an anonymous gift to us all. Not only are they brave in the face of spectacular danger but by their actions they were also unobtrusively making me aware of their deep-seated attitude towards civic responsibility. I felt their community spirit should not go without the recognition it so justly deserves. You set us a high standard to aspire to in Langley. Thank you firemen. RUTH E. STEWART, LANGLEY

Most of the kids could have told you where it had come from and some of them would probably have known its name, and a few might even have been from the farm it came from.A couple of the Grade 6 boys would have gotten some rope for a halter (Grade 6 boys always had access to rope) and led it back to its pen. No “Code Yellows.” No RCMP. Isn’t progress wonderful? BRIAN JOHNSON, WILLOUGHBY

Record Remembrance numbers Editor: Remembrance Day dawned bright but bitterly cold and windy last Tuesday. Despite whatever concerns they might have had about the weather or a repetition of the recent events in Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Langley residents turned out for Remembrance Day services in record numbers. No one, it seemed, was willing to yield to the threat of further violence. In Fort Langley, many in the assembly commented on how whatever discomfort we might be experiencing paled in comparison with the hardships and suffering Canadian servicemen and women have endured on our behalf. Thoughts turned to our veterans’ sacrifices, whether on the Western Front, the North Atlantic, the

Afghan desert, the Korean hills, or the beaches of Normandy. Many recalled soldiers lost in peacekeeping missions in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. It was particularly encouraging to see so many young families in attendance, and the rapt attention of even the youngest was indeed remarkable. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to thank The Times for its annual coverage of this season of remembrance. We are no less grateful to all those who attended, and to those who volunteered to make our service successful once again. WARREN SOMMER, CHAIR, FORT LANGLEY REMEMBRANCE DAY COMMITTEE

Congratulations to new City council Editor: I would like to congratulate the elected council for the City of Langley. It was a pleasure to get to know all of you. The city will be in good hands. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the 1,493 people who believed in me and voted for me, and for all the people that helped along the way. This was my first time running for council and it was an amazing

experience. I really enjoyed meeting so many people and having wonderful conversations and learning so much more about our community. I look forward to seeing the positive changes that the new council will be making. SHARON NEWBERY, LANGLEY

Two Langleys a waste of money Editor: Do we need to double up on city halls, one for the district and one for the city, plus all the staff required. All this waste of money could go toward better transit. My wife and I were in San Diego, California last year and discovered a great light rail system that runs from the northern suburbs through downtown and all the way to the Mexican border.

This is what we need from Chilliwack to downtown Vancouver, and most likely it could be build at a fraction of the cost of SkyTrain. I could go on, but I will leave it at that for now. G. BLATT, LANGLEY

Generosity helped change focus Editor: I would like to say thank to the anonymous gentleman who paid for my breakfast at I-Hop on Saturday, Nov. 8. I am going through some difficult times in my life, and that morning I was up at 4:30 a.m., unable to sleep. Finally, I decided to go for a walk, thinking about how to deal with my problems. The generosity and kindness

of a stranger changed my focus and gave me strength. You have no idea the impact that this random act of kindness had. It has caused a ripple affect, as not only has it had an impact on me, but on my family and others as well, as I will continue to “pay it forward.” Thank you. B. MCLEOD, LANGLEY

No chance to take part in ceremonies NO PROVISION MADE FOR THOSE ON SCOOTERS Editor: On Nov. 11, I bundled up, got on my scooter (I am disabled) and rode to Douglas Park to attend the ceremonies, arriving at 10:40 a.m. As there was no access for scooters and I was definitely unable to see over others, I said a prayer, and returned home. With so many elderly and disabled persons, whose

only means of mobility is by means of a scooter or wheelchair in Langley, I am extremely disappointed with those responsible that accommodations were not made. JEAN HOLLEY, LANGLEY

‘Having your support means a lot’ GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

Audrey de Boer was six years old when her life changed dramatically. Not feeling well, she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. “I felt so alone,” she said outside Langley City Hall on Friday morning. “I didn’t know how this could happen.” She was there to watch acting mayor Ted Schaffer, alongside councillors Gayle Martin and Jack Arnold, as well as City staff members, raise a flag outside City Hall to mark World Diabetes Day.

200 STREET RAILWAY OVERPASS MENTIONED

MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley City could see roundabouts in its future, as well as more sidewalks and safer bike lanes, but it also could really use an overpass over the railway tracks at 200 Street. This according to the newly-released 100-page Master Transportation Plan, which is meant to guide the City into the next 20 years. The plan was adopted unanimously by Langley City council at the Nov. 3 meeting. John Steiner of Urban Systems, the consulting company hired to create the plan, went over the $21.4 million proposal. “This plan identifies sidewalks as a priority. There will be enhanced sidewalk coverage, filling in the gaps where there aren’t any,” said Steiner at the council meeting. Sidewalks and improving pedestrian crossings is the most expensive part of the MTP, estimated to cost around L an gley City s ke tch $10.5 million over 20 years.

When it comes to selecting a dental practice, there’s no shortage in the Langley area. Nowadays, it seems they’re popping up everywhere – so, how does one choose the right dentist for their family? While there are various factors to take into consideration, choosing one you can trust and depend upon today, tomorrow and down the road should make or break your decision. The friendly team over at the 200th Street Dental provides a one-of-a kind dental experience for all ages — one that makes you feel at ease the second you walk through the front door and are greeted by the friendly reception. “Our doctors will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible experience for every patient,” says Suejee Quon, Marketing Manager for the popular family dental practice that takes your oral health to heart. Dr. Faria Chohan treats all patients as unique individuals to empower them with the information they need to make the right choices for their dental health and aesthetic goals. “Every patient should be treated as a valued patient -- a unique individual who

is empowered with all the information they need to make the right choices for their dental health and aesthetic goals,” said Dr. Chohan. “We conduct a thorough assessment of patient needs, and develop a treatment program that is customized to their needs and financial goals.” Some dental practices dissuade children from becoming patients, because it takes a special kind of training and personal temperament -- not the case at 200th Street Dental, which prides itself on being a family practice. “We are all about family and community, and are delighted when generations of patients from the same family turn to us for their needs. We offer FREE first appointments for children under the age of four.” Their doctors are happy to offer free consultations for dental implants, Botox, and Invisalign-- the practice also offers Free Whitening for LIFE when you call to reserve your new patient exam and cleaning As the oral health field is continuously changing, 200th St Dental, located at 105-19978 72 Ave., offers state-of-the-art solutions such as Velscope for oral cancer

5 Things You Should Consider Before Choosing a Dentist? 1. Convenience - Is the location close to home or work? Are the hours of operation compatible with your schedule?

scanning, digital x-rays and more. In addition to providing a fear-free environment through Sedation Dentistry, the office goes to great lengths to be Earth Friendly. The latter consists of using only filtered water used to spray in a patient’s mouth, digital x-rays that use 70 per cent less radiation, old Mercury Silver Fillings are separated and safely removed by a waste company, white composite fillings are used, and to reduce paper waste, the office is fully digital – no charts or piles of paper to end up in the waste bin at this office. For many, a visit to the dentist is a dreaded visit met with anxiety. For your comfort and convenience, 200th St Dental also provides Conscious Sedation using Nitrous Oxide, and convenient late and weekend hours – there’s even a 24/7 emergency line (604-805-2500). For a dental care provider with whom you can develop a good clinical relationship with at a convenient location close to home, look no further than 200th St Dental. “We welcome emergency and new patients with a refreshment area, giveaways and a warm, friendly environment.”

3. Fees - Some dentists charge more by marketing themselves as high-end celebrity cosmetic dentists offering Hollywood smile makeovers. Other dentists try to make up for poor materials and shoddy work by offering low prices. Beware the extremes. Ask for options. 4. Atmosphere- Is it a warm, welcoming environment? Do you feel comfortable and at ease when you walk through the door? 5. Emergency Procedure - Find out how emergencies are handled – both during regular hours and off hours. Is there an answering service, cell phone number or pager you can reach?

The appeal court therefore found no reason to change the $300,000 compensation award made by the trial judge for Janet’s reduced earning capacity.

Hospice Helps through the Holidays Krist yl Cl ark , Ti m e s R e p o r t e r

Even with the attractive decorations, festive music and good cheer, the holidays can be a difficult time for many in our community. This is especially true for seniors and others who are grieving the passing of a loved one. With Christmas being a family-centered holiday, a loss -whether recent or from years ago -- can be felt much more strongly at this time of year. Roberta Higgs, 69, is all-too-familiar with the pangs of loneliness that commonly brings on the blues for many older adults this time of year. While the Langley resident lost her husband, Patrick, to cancer three years ago, she refuses to go into hiding from festive gathering, friends and family. Thanks to the help of the Langley Hospice Society, she would get through her first solo holiday season. The non-profit charitable organization would also open the door for a fresh, healing start -- one that would open the door for new friendships and opportunities. It took courage to reach out and step outside her comfort zone, but Roberta hasn’t looked back. Shortly after moving to Langley from North Vancouver back in 2011, the newly retired couple would face their worst nightmare --cancer. Patrick was diagnosed shortly after having an operation, and the illness progressed fast. Despite it being a dark time, the Langley Hospice is where the couple found a little light. “It was just a really peaceful place after all the trauma of the illness,” said Higgs of both the home-like residence on the grounds of the Langley Memorial Hospital and care model that provides emotional, practical, spiritual, support for people who are living with a terminal illness, their family and friends, throughout the last stages of illness, at the time of death and bereavement. Having only recently left the community where she spent the past 42 years with her family, the retiree never felt more alone in her life after Patrick’s death. “Here I was in a new place with no job, no friends and my husband and just died... it was a really difficult time.” During a one-one-one session with a grief counsellor from the Langley Hospice Society at their Supportive Programs Centre, it was suggested to her that she consider volunteering at the organization’s non profit thrift store ‘Second Story Treasures.’ With her background in jewelry and retail, the position seemed like a good fit. “It worked really well for me,” said Roberta, admitting that she was nervous at first about trying something new. “But it worked really well for me -- the people there are so wonderful. Just Pat & Roberta having that feeling of being needed, of belonging and giving back has helped tremendously.” And while Roberta’s role at the thrift store has helped her feel more connected to her new community, she says the volunteering also serves as a distraction come mid-November when the hustle and bustle of the holiday season commences. “It’s difficult -- always a hard time, but I keep my December and January calendars pretty full to distract me,” she said. continued on next page

My family is wonderful... has always been helpful as well as my friends. I also really do look forward to volunteering. It really seems to help bring me out of my sadness.” In addition to volunteering, Roberta takes part in the LHS’ Celebration of Life by hanging a paper ornament in Patrick’s memory every December. She also takes part in the society’s special annual holiday tea, where she is joined by others in her shoes. Now in her third year in Langley, her new life is beginning to feel more comfortable and familiar -- having the courage to reach out for help has helped smooth the path for Roberta’s grieving journey. “You need to reach out... I found that over time it wasn’t necessarily a comfort zone form, but you just have to put yourself out there,” she said. “Even when you don’t want to go, it’s important to go anyway for the social contact -- that chance to meet people, connect and laugh.”

Fort Langley Dragon Boat Teams Make Their Mark in Italy Waking up to thunder storms and strong winds at the World Championships in Ravenna Italy did not faze the women dragon boaters from Fort Langley. With the Canadian flag snapping in the wind, and training in an unfamiliar boat, the weather only reminded them of many mornings training on Bedford Channel back home. Three women's teams from Fort Langley travelled to Ravenna Italy in September where they had qualified for the 2014 World Club Crew Championship Regatta. The three teams, Titanium, Abreast With Fortitude, a team of breast cancer survivors, and Fast and Furious a team of 60+ ladies, had qualified for the prestigious world even by placing within the top five in their classes at the Canadian National Finals on Elk Lake in Victoria in August 2013. After long overseas flights, the teams only had one day to rest, hydrate and relax before they got to view the course and try out their unfamiliar boats. At the opening ceremonies all the teams appeared before the spectators while a display of Dragon Boats, all sporting the flag of their country, paddled by. A memorable experience for competitors and their families alike. Once on the practice course the Canadian teams discovered that their intense training during the past year had paid off as other teams were struggling with the wind and the waves. In addition to the three times a week on the water back home, the team members regularly conducted dry land training such as weights and cardio exercises and walking or cycling. Fast and Furious had hired a trainer and had adapted the training during the year so the teams didn’t over train as they approached the trip to Italy. At the start of the competition the Canadians are part of twenty-seven participating nations with over fifty-four hundred paddlers that would compete in twelve hundred races to be held during the week of September 4th-7th. There are fifty-six categories of racers and various lengths in the competition. Traditionally, Dragon boat teams are made up of 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson. Each team will take 24 paddlers and it is continued on next page

part of the coach's duties to set the roster and make the team assignments for each heat. They can have 24 members on the roster and can use different paddlers in each heat. The events in Italy will include 200 metre and 500 metre races as well as a gruelling 2000 metre Guts and Glory event event. A team may participate in up to two or three heats a day. However due to the weather the teams were asked to reduce the number of paddlers in their boats to 16 or 18. But even with all the changes and challenges, the Canadian teams acquitted themselves well. The Fast & Furious team is made up of women of an average age of 62 but competed in the 49+ age category during the championships against teams with members as much as 12 years younger. Their tenacity placed them in the championship finals and elevated them to competition in the grand finals in all of their races. Although they didn’t reach the podium, they consistently finished among the world champions, sixth and eighth best in the world, in some case only mere seconds behind the podium finishers. In many of the events, the Fast & Furious crew led the way out of the gate either starting strong or finishing strong. They were the number one boat to start in their Guts and Glory 2000 metre event with the other boats following at 15 second intervals, and managed to hold off all competitors finishing with a ninth best time in their division. The Fortitude team started sixth in their 2000 metre event and with strong paddling and excellent steering they passed competitors and placed third winning Canada, and Fort Langley, a Bronze medal on the World Stage against very experienced and intense competitors. Maybe there weren’t a lot of medals being packed in suit cases for the trip home, but the rest of the Dragon Boat world now knows to watch out for the ladies from Fort Langley.

Combining an engaging tale, live music, period costumes, the aroma of mulling cider and the taste of traditional mince pies — Langley’s Rose and Eric Hominick will endeavour to evoke in their audience a sense of 19th century England, as they give a dramatic reading of Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. And the Langley couple is hoping that their performance will not only entertain audiences, but provide a little food for thought as well. The Nov. 29 presentation at Willoughby Elementary will be the second the Hominicks have given in Langley since moving to the community in the summer of 2013. Last December, prior to their reading at Sharon United Church, Rose Hominick noted that Dickens’ commentary on the disparity between the “haves” and “havenots” remains relevant today. “The more things change the more they stay the same,” she said. “That was true in the 19th century and it’s certainly true in the 21st. You’d think we’d develop to the point where we’d have no more hungry and no more homeless,” she said. “But we still have people who want and people who have so much.” Once again, admission to the performance will be by donation, with proceeds going to charity. This year, the reading will benefit the Langley Pos-Abilities Society, which strives to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Joined by five other performers, the couple will read aloud from the same text that Dickens himself condensed from his novella and performed for 19th century audiences. Last December, about 80 people gathered in the chapel at Sharon United Church to follow the fates of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim through the pages

This year, they’re hoping to draw more than 100, adding that inclement weather and (unfounded) concerns over parking likely kept a few people away from their 2013 Langley debut. Helen Wells, a Langley actress who was among the performers at last year’s reading, will join the ensemble again this year for the fourth time. It’s a natural fit for the Brit and self-proclaimed “Pearly Queen of Langley.” “Being English, the opportunity to perform anything English attracts me. Anything of that (Vic-

“I think I teethed on Alastair Sim’s version version (1951’s Scrooge),” said Wells. First-time reader Peter Vandenbosch was drawn into the fold by simple good manners, he joked. During a dinner one evening at Vandenbosch’s home, Rose urged him to participate in this year’s performance. “As a good host, I agreed,” he chuckled. Although it will be his first time on stage, Vandenbosch has attended every performance the Hominicks have given in the Lower Mainland.

“He’s been steeped in Dickens for years,” said Rose. “I’m a complete novice,” he replied. The reading — presented by Britannica Repertory Company, Hominick Music Studio and Redemption Hill Church — will also include short, seasonal musical interludes. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol — a dramatic reading in costume — takes place on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. at Willoughby Elementary School, 20766 80th Ave. Admission is by donation, child care will be provided.

Health Matters

Diabetics with a sweet tooth often turn to artificial sweeteners to provide the taste they crave. It could be argued that they do nothing to retrain the taste buds, but now research is showing that they paradoxically lead to an increase in blood glucose! Further testing demonstrated that microbes in the gastric tract were responsible for the change, although the exact mechanism was unclear. Either way, it’s another reason to avoid “sweet.” The debate shifts between low-carb and low-fat diets, but for diabetics, it appears that a combination of low-carb and low-saturated fat is the ideal diet. An Australian study has suggested that a diet emphasizing protein and unsaturated fats, while restricting carbohydrates (14 per cent carb calories, 28% protein & 58% mono/un-saturated fat vs. the commonly accepted ratio of 50-20-30) significantly improved glycemic control and reduced cardiovascular events. The best sources of protein for diabetics (and most others, for that matter) include fish, dairy and plant proteins. Animal proteins (meats), which tend to be associated with saturated fats, have been

implicated in a variety of chronic conditions, such as heart disease, but now they have been associated with a higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes. The effect is BOB SANGHA more pronounced in women. Pharmacist, BSc Choose your protein wisely! As with so many other chronic conditions, exercise can be the key to avoiding deadly complications. And, it may never be too late to start! Diabetics who don’t regularly exercise are at a 70% greater risk of cardiovascular death than those who exercise at least 3 times weekly. The Swedish doctor looking at the results noted that this underscores the importance of including exercise as an integral part of any diabetes management plan. Diabetes is a complicated condition intimately associated with metabolism. As such, the interplay between diet and exercise is key to its management.

Inaugural Joey Award goes to young Langley actress KARISSA KETTER RECOGNIZED FOR HER WORK IN THE INDEPENDENT SHORT FILM, DAISIES BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

It’s not unusual for students to find themselves balancing school and a job. What is less common is when the student in question still attends elementary school and the job is as a professional actor. But that’s exactly the case with Langley’s Karissa Ketter. The Grade 7 student at Gordon Greenwood Elementary school is among the first group of young actors to be nominated for — and one of the first individuals to win — a Joey Award. Karissa, 12, is one of hundreds of young actors and actresses from across the country whose work was submitted for the inaugural “red carpet” Joey Award gala which was held on Nov. 16 in New Westminster. And she was one of only five nominated in the category of Young Actress, age nine or younger, in a short film. “I was pretty excited (to be nominated)” said Karissa last week, before learning she’d won the award. “I was told 200 people submitted short films.” The nod came for her work in the short film Daisies — made when she was nine years old — playing Madison, a young girl who inspires her mother to live her life to the fullest. “My character kind of knows she’s not going to last too long in the world, so she tries to convince her mother to go for her dreams,” said Karissa. Chasing her own dream, Karissa booked her first roles at age six — playing with toys in television commercials. By then she’d already been begging her parents for two years to let her become an actor, according to her mother, Kristine. Although having their daughter ask to become an actor before her first day of kindergarten wasn’t exactly ideal, Karissa’s parents were forced to acknowledge that she possessed qualities that made it a good fit from the start. “When she said she wanted to go into acting, as her mom and dad (we thought) ‘Oh, it’s not what we wanted,’” said Kristine. But others who knew Karissa found the choice an obvious one, she said. “She’s comfortable acting with adults. She’s confident and outgoing. “Even at a young age, she was very confident and mature,” said Kristine. Karissa had her own, very simple, reason for wanting to act. “I think I saw people on TV and thought, that looks like a cool thing to do,” she said. Today, it’s more about the overall experience. “I like the energy of being on set and being surrounded by people who love what they’re doing,” said Karissa. In addition to working in film and television, Karissa, who studies at the Vancouver Young Actors School, also performs on stage, participating each year in the Christmas productions at Burnaby Village. This year’s play — her fifth — is called Stealing

Langley’s Karissa Ketter, who is set to appear on stage at Burnaby’s Heritage Christmas Village, was among the winners at the first annual Joey Awards held on Sunday in New Westminster. Christmas. In it, she plays a young girl who, along with her father, is homeless. As he robs a bakery, she tries to convince him that there is a better way to live. The plays aren’t long, involved productions, but after five years they have become something of a holiday tradition for Karissa, whose brother, Jeremy, has joined the show as a backstage manager this year. “When we arrive for our first rehearsal every fall it feels like we’re coming to our home away from home,” she said. Although she has had to miss school on occasion to work or audition for a role, the deal is that as long as she remains caught up with her school work, she can continue acting. Despite her enthusiasm for her craft, Karissa isn’t convinced that a career in acting is what her future holds. “I’d like to keep acting as a hobby,” she said. “There’s something about it — it’s just really fun.” Stealing Christmas will run as part of Heritage Christmas celebrations at Burnaby Village Museum, 6501 Deer Lake Ave., six times each weekend from Nov. 22 to Dec. 14.

Lightning strike for Fraser Valley title GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

After falling short of a podium finish at last year’s provincial championships, the Langley Christian Lightning are determined to use that experience to their advantage. “They got a taste of what it is like to play in a bronze medal match,” said Langley Christian coach Mary-Joan Visscher. “They had a chance to see the type of calibre that they need to work towards; they have been working towards that a lot.” The Lightning senior girls volleyball team booked their ticket to next week’s provincial Single A championships in Kelowna (Nov. 27 to 29) with a four-set victory over the Southridge Storm in the Fraser Valley finals. The match was played on Nov. 13 at Langley Christian School. The teams split the first two sets and after the Lightning went ahead 2-1, they found themselves trailing 10-4 in the fourth set. But Langley Christian dominated the rest of the set, scoring 21 of the final 24 points. This was the third time the Lightning played Southridge during the year, with both schools winning once. “We just did a great job of playing consistent and not getting distracted,” Visscher said about the Fraser Valley final. “They were focused and composed in their strategy.” Langley Christian also won last year’s Fraser Valley title in Visscher’s first year as coach.

“This particular one was very special because we don’t always get to play in our home gym for a championship like the Fraser Valleys,” Visscher said. “It is usually at a neutral location (so) it was nice to see the girls that are graduating to be able to celebrate on their home floor.” The Lightning were led by captain Emma Kastelein, who earned the Fraser Valley most valuable player award. Picking up all-stars were Marieke DeVynk and Ali Wergeland. Visscher said at the start of the year, the team’s first goal was to get to know one and other on the court, which is essential since high school rosters have such fluctuation year to year. “It takes a while to build the team and

Once that was done, the goals were established: finish top 10 in all of their tournaments, win the Fraser Valley banner and qualify for provincials, and all three were accomplished.

Kodiaks bronzed at soccer championships GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

The Credo Christian Kodiaks experienced both ends of the spectrum when it comes to the emotions of a soccer shootout. The senior boys soccer team was competing at the Single A provincial soccer championships earlier this month (Nov. 6 to 8) in Nakusp. And after suffering a 1-0 loss (4-3 in penalty kicks) in the dreaded penalty kicks in the semifinals to the Immaculata Mustangs, the Kodiaks were able to bounce back to win

10.375" X 2.857

2-1 (7-6 in penalty kicks) over St. Anns in the bronze medal match. “The boys were pretty down after losing in the semifinal, especially in a shootout,” said Credo coach Derek Hoogerdijk. “I talked to them and went over what we had gone through to get to this point. We had been hoping to finish top eight and we were in the top four, fighting for a medal. “The boys came out flying (in the bronze medal game) with a lot to prove, and they did.” The Kodiaks — the Fraser

Valley champions — also won bronze at the 2013 provincial championships but returned just seven players from that team. “I knew that I had some good players coming up from junior and hoped to make provincials,” Hoogerdijk said. “I had not imagined after all we had been through that we’d be taking home a medal again this year. I was hopeful for top eight.” The season began well enough and then at a tournament in Campbell River against some

AA competition, the Kodiaks took top spot. That increased the coach’s expectations, but shortly after that, Credo lost a few players. The Kodiaks were seeded fourth heading into provincials, and won their first two games, 1-0 over Aberdeen Hall and then Pemberton 3-1. They needed a win or a tie in their final game, against St. Andrew’s, and the Kodiaks scored early to win 1-0 to make the semifinal round. “This bronze medal was a little harder to come by,” Hoogerdijk said. “Our pool play this

year was much tighter than last year and our last two games were very tough too.” His team’s defensive play also impressed the coach as the Kodiaks conceded just two goals in five games — plus four overtime periods — which was tops among all the teams at the championships. Credo Christian captain Caleb Schouten was named to the Commissioners XVI while Langley Christian’s Caleb Wust also earned the honour. The Lightning came eighth at the championships.

Last year, they did not have enough players to field a team. But this year — with an abundance of bodies as well as a strong core that will be back next season — the Brookswood Bobcats are off to the provincial senior boys AA soccer championships. “It is a special team this year,” said Jim Pratt, who shares coaching duties alongside another parent, Martin Buehler. The pair have coached the majority of the Brookswood team at both the high school level and with some of the players, since they were at the U7 level in the Langley

United program. The ’Cats fielded a team of 25 this past season, which includes a good mix of Grade 11 and 12s, and a few others in Grades 8 to 10. There is also about eight or nine international students on the roster. What stands out about this team is its depth and skill level. “What often happens in high school soccer is that you have five or six really good players and then a drop off after that,” Pratt explained. “So you put your strong players — even if they are strikers — along the backline or something. We have the flexibility this year where

we have 13 or 15 good solid players and we can play people in the positions that they do best.” And the ’Cats have come through, qualifying for the provincial championships thanks to a second-place finish at the Fraser Valley championships earlier this month. It is the first time in at least eight years Brookswood has qualified. The Bobcats were seeded fourth for the Fraser Valleys after finishing second in their division, but upset the top-seed Abbotsford Traditional squad 5-0. This came on the heels of another impressive offensive output,

7-2 over St. John Brebeuf in the quarter-finals. In the Fraser Valley finals on Nov. 6, Brookswood lost to the No. 3 Archbishop Carney Stars 3-0. Brookswood has lost just three times this season and all three times it has been the Stars who handed them the defeat. “We are hoping to meet them one more time at provincials,” Pratt said. The 16-team provincial championships began yesterday (Monday) and goes until tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex, “If we finish in the top eight, that is great,” Pratt said. “But I think we have the ability to finish top four and maybe even medal.”

Eagles golden Down by a pair of goals in the championship final, the Langley Eagles rallied to score four unanswered goals and claim the gold medal. The atom A1 hockey team was competing at a tournament in Saanich from Nov. 8 to 11 and beat the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies for the gold medal. Langley went 2-0-1 in the round robin, beating the Vancouver Spirit 6-4, tying the Nanaimo Clippers 2-2 and then hammering the South Delta Storm 10-0. In the semifinals, the Eagles defeated the Seafair Islanders 5-1. ••• The Langley Atom A3 Eagles brought home gold in the West Kelowna Atom B Remembrance Day weekend tournament. The Eagles battled against teams from the North Shore Winter Club, Summerland, and Winfield in the round robin, then faced Kelowna in the semi-finals. They ended the tournament with a rematch against Summerland and soared to victory bringing home the gold.

Soccer Alliance announced A new Alliance has formed in Langley soccer circles. Langley FC Alliance — formerly Langley FC — was officially introduced over the weekend with a new logo. The Langley-based soccer club, which has approximately 1,500 youth and adult players, is also partnered with Aldergrove Youth Soccer, Abbotsford Magnuson Ford Soccer Club and Chilliwack FC in the B.C. High Performance Soccer League. The club is holding tryouts this week at Willoughby Community Park for the 2015 B.C. Premier League. For more information, visit www.langleyfcalliance.com.

Credo rallies to win Valley title GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

GARY AHUJA L an gley Tim es

Langley Fundamental Titans’ Jackson Thompson (right) is grabbed by his Queen Elizabeth Royals opponent during last week’s Fraser Valley semifinal Grade 8/9 soccer game at Willoughby Community Park. The top-seed Titans lost 1-0 to the No. 4 Royals.

For the ninth straight year, the Credo Christian Kodiaks are the senior boys Fraser Valley champions. The Kodiaks defeated the Abbotsford Christian Knights in the Single A title game last week (Nov. 13) at Abbotsford Christian School. “Going into the game, we had the hopes of keeping that (streak) going, and I suspect, some expectations to win just like in previous years,” admitted first-year coach Nick Van Delft, who played for the Kodiaks until graduating from the school in 2011. This past season has not been a normal one. While Credo Christian was ready to go in September for the season, the teachers’ strike delayed the full beginning of the volleyball season until October, and even then, it was a condensed season with less teams than normal. In fact, the Kodiaks and the Knights were the only two teams in the Fraser Valley division. And in the teams’ lone meeting, it was Abbotsford Christian winning in three sets.

And in the Fraser Valley final, Abbotsford Christian put the pressure on by winning the first set and then leading 2-1 after the third set. But the Kodiaks rallied to force a fifth and deciding set before prevailing. “The last points of a fifth set is when any team is tested the most,” Van Delft said. “We played a great mental game, kept our heads and ended up on top.” The result did not really matter since Abbotsford Christian already had a berth to next week’s (Nov. 27 to 29) provincial championships as the host school, so Credo Christian knew they would be attending as well. But pride — and a streak — were on the line. “By winning, we proved to ourselves that we earned our spot and deserved to be there and I think we also showed other teams that we are coming to win and can compete even in the toughest of situations,” Van Delft said. Chris Snijder earned the Fraser Valley most valuable player award while Lucas Vandergugten was an all-star.

Rivermen captain Kilistoff bound for Ivy League next season

Langley Rivermen captain Kevan Kilistoff is off to the Ivy League next season after accepting a scholarship offer to Dartmouth College. Kilistoff will join the Division 1 school in New Hampshire next fall in time for the 2015/16 hockey season. “Everybody has been talking about how great the school is and how they have a great program,” said Kilistoff.

“It’s an Ivy League education and I’m looking forward to it.” The 20-year-old from Langley is in his third BCHL season and leads the Rivermen with 23 points through the first 20 games. “I couldn’t be happier for Kevan,” said Langley head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “It’s a great fit all around. The academics there are as good they get and the hockey program is ex-

tremely competitive. “It’ll be a great experience for him and I’m glad it worked out.” In his rookie year with the Surrey Eagles, Kilistoff won the Fred Page Cup as well as the Western Canada Cup and appeared in the RBC Cup. Last season he was traded to Langley and helped guide the team to the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy, given to the team with

the best record in the BCHL regular season. “I was pretty confident he was going to get a good deal,” said Henderson. “For some guys it takes longer than others. “He’s got all the ability in the world but scouts wanted to see if he could produce as an older guy in the league and he’s proven he

can do that.” “I was a little nervous because it is a big decision,” said Kilistoff. “It’s the next four years of my life and after talking it over with my parents, I think we made the right decision.” Another member of the Rivermen, Gage Torrel, has committed to Lake Superior State University. The 20-year-old is in his second season with Langley and has 19 points in 20 games.

Five consecutive goals lead to third straight win Trailing 5-3 late in the second period, the Langley Knights scored five unanswered goals to win their third straight hockey game, 8-5 over the Mission City Outlaws. Carson Rose and Alex Kalau tied the junior B hockey game up prior to second intermission and then Colin Catchpole gave the Knights their first lead of the game 11 minutes into the third period. Rose extended the lead to 7-5 before Levi De Waal scored into the empty net. The game was played on Saturday at the Mission Leisure Centre and extends Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead atop the PJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harold Brittain Conference to seven points. Langley, which has points in four straight games, improved to 12-6-1-1 and 26 points.

They also blanked the Port Moody Panthers 4-0 on Nov. 13 behind a 35-save performance from Cole Forbes. Also coming up big in the game was Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penalty kill, which thwarted all 11 Port Moody man-advantage chances, including consecutive fiveon-three chances in the third period. Langley got goals from Oliver Alcock in the first period, Rose and Jacob Fricks in the second and Joshua Smith early in the third. Alcock, Alex Kalau and Nicolas Bizzutto each had two assists. Nickolas Trenciansky earned the win against Mission City, stopping 22 of the 24 shots he faced. He replaced Forbes in the first period after the Outlaws scored on three of their

first six shots. De Waal earned first star honours with two goals and four points while Jackson Surbey and Smith had a goal apiece. Blake Gorrill chipped in with three assists. Bryce Pisiak led the Outlaws with a pair of goals. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Up next for the Knights is a home game on Thursday (Nov. 20) against the Abbotsford Pilots at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The Pilots are seven points back off Langley for top spot in the division. The Knights are also using the game to collect donations for the Langley Food Bank. Any fan who brings a food band donation, will get into the game for $5. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

After a month-long struggle in October to find the win column, November has been much kinder to the Aldergrove Kodiaks who have won three of their past four games. The Kodiaks made it two in a row with a pair of one-goal victories, 2-1 over the Grandview Steelers on Nov. 9 and 4-3 against the Ridge Meadows Flames on Nov. 12. The first game was at the Burnaby Winter Club while the latter was played at the Aldergrove Arena. The victories improve the junior B hockey club to 6-7-2-4 and their 18 points have them in second spot in the PJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harold Brittain Conference, six
